20+ years in Asia as a corporate lawyer, investor, and fintech founder. I've sat on both sides of the table and seen the same avoidable mistakes hit founders again and again. The reviews and articles I write are for founders who'd rather skip the mistakes.

Key Takeaways

Osome's "Fully compliant" bundle prices their accounting service by expected revenue. Every incorporation package assumes your business makes under S$30,000 in its first financial year. So if you earn more, Osome says it will "invoice you for the difference," a cost that isn't quantified anywhere on the pricing page.

Like most Singapore incorporation providers, Osome's cheapest plan ("Starter," from S$2,438) includes a nominee director for only 3 months, even though Singapore law requires a resident director continuously. Its top incorporation tier, which includes a full 12 months of nominee director cover, costs S$3,772, 55% more than the Starter headline price.

Osome doesn't publish a standalone renewal rate for extending a nominee director past a package's included term. That's a real information gap, not a hidden fee: Sleek, a comparable provider, does publish a standalone rate (S$2,000/year) on its public pages, while Osome only reveals its price at checkout or inside your Osome account.

Independent reviews are more mixed than Osome's own site suggests: Trustpilot's aggregate score for Osome is 3.4/5 from 664 reviews, versus the 4.2/5 (1,012 reviews) and "92% of customers recommend us" figures Osome cites on its own homepage.

The price that assumes you'll stay small

If you're comparing Osome against other Singapore incorporation providers, the plan names suggest a simple choice: Starter, for founders who want the basics, or Fully Compliant, for founders who want everything handled. Look at what's actually priced into each plan, and the more revealing detail isn't the nominee director term. It's the revenue cap sitting quietly inside the accounting portion of every single package.

Every Osome incorporation plan (Starter, Fully Compliant, and Fully Compliant + Visa) bundles in accounting support capped at "up to S$30,000 expected revenue for the first financial year.” Osome is explicit about what happens if you clear that number: on its own accounting pricing page, it states that when your revenue falls above or below the selected threshold, "we'll either invoice you for the difference or credit your account." That's a fair mechanism in principle. It's also not something you can price out in advance from the incorporation page alone, because Osome doesn't publish what the invoice looks like at, say, S$60,000 or S$150,000 in revenue.

Statrys offers company incorporation and accounting services in Singapore too, so we have skin in the game here; we've tried to stick to Osome's own published numbers and let them speak for themselves.

This guide is based on research conducted in July 2026, including a review of Osome's official Singapore pricing pages, its published FAQ on nominee director services, and independent reviews on Trustpilot. All figures below are sourced and dated.

✅ Good fit for: founders who genuinely expect to stay under S$30,000 in revenue through their first financial year, and who want incorporation, a nominee director, corporate secretary, and basic accounting bundled under one provider from day one.

Not a good fit for: founders who expect to cross that S$30,000 threshold early, or who want to know their full-year accounting cost upfront rather than finding out via a revenue-based adjustment invoice partway through the year.

What Osome's Singapore incorporation plans cost

Osome sells three incorporation packages for foreign founders, pulled directly from Osome's Singapore "Incorporation for Foreigners" pricing page in July 2026:

Plan From (price) Nominee director included Accounting revenue cap
Starter S$2,438 3 months Up to S$30,000 (year 1)
Fully Compliant S$3,772 12 months Up to S$30,000 (year 1)
Fully Compliant + Visa S$3,822 6 months, plus Employment Pass application Up to S$30,000 (year 1)

All three tiers include incorporation filing with the government fee (S$315, which matches ACRA's published fee schedule exactly), a company constitution and post-incorporation documents, a registered address for one year, corporate secretary services including annual return filing, and accounting and bookkeeping support up to the S$30,000 revenue cap.

What "from S$2,438" doesn't show you

The revenue-tier adjustment

Osome's own accounting pricing page lays out three standalone plans priced by annual revenue band: Operate starts at S$898/year for revenue under S$30,000, with the Grow and Scale tiers priced progressively higher as the selected revenue band increases.

The incorporation packages are all bundled in the Operate-equivalent tier. If your actual first-year revenue lands in Grow or Scale territory instead, Osome's own pricing language says you'll be invoiced for the difference, but the incorporation page doesn't show what that difference is. A founder pricing out Osome by looking only at the incorporation page has no way to see this cost coming.

This isn't a hidden fee in the sense of something concealed. It's disclosed, just on a different page from the one most founders compare providers on.

The same nominee director cliff as the rest of the market

Singapore's Companies Act requires every company to have at least one Singapore-resident director, continuously, not just at incorporation. Osome's own “Incorporation for Foreigners” page confirms this and explains why its packages tie the nominee director to an accounting subscription: "If there’s any wrongdoing, such as late or incorrect reports, the nominee director shares legal responsibility. That’s why you have to get an accounting package with this service.”

Osome's Starter plan includes the nominee director for 3 months only. Its Fully Compliant plan, at S$3,772, includes a full 12 months, 55% above the Starter headline price, and the more realistic comparison point for a foreign founder without an eligible local co-director.

Unlike some competitors, Osome doesn't publish a standalone renewal rate for extending a nominee director once a package's included term runs out. Its nominee director page routes back to the same three incorporation bundles rather than showing an à la carte annual price, so a founder comparing providers upfront can't see the renewal price on Osome's public pages; Osome states add-on prices are shown at checkout and within your Osome account.

What Osome does well

Setting the revenue-cap structure aside, Osome's Singapore service has real strengths:

  • Correctly stated government fees. Osome's S$315 incorporation fee and S$60 annual return fee both match ACRA's published fee schedule exactly: no discrepancy, unlike some competitors' pricing pages.
  • No-deposit nominee director. Osome states plainly that requiring a security deposit "has been the industry standard in Singapore" and that it decided to get rid of it, charging only for the service itself.
  • Honest about bank account odds. Osome discloses that it can introduce founders to banking partners, including Airwallex, Aspire, and WorldFirst, but is explicit that "we can't guarantee you'll get an account for your business. The decision is always up to the banks." That's a more candid disclosure than most competitors offer on the same point.
  • Fast turnaround claims. Osome's own site cites incorporation as fast as within 1 hour once documents are collected, and features a client testimonial citing a 3-day incorporation.

What independent reviewers say

Osome's own homepage cites a 4.2/5 rating from 1,012 reviews and states that 92% of customers recommend it. Those figures aren't sourced to a specific platform on the page itself.

The independent picture from Trustpilot in July 2026 is more mixed: Osome holds a 3.4 out of 5 TrustScore from 664 reviews. Trustpilot's page for osome.com aggregates reviews across all the markets Osome operates in, including the UK, Hong Kong, and Singapore, so not every review reflects the Singapore entity specifically.

Still, the gap between Osome's self-reported 4.2/5 and Trustpilot's independent 3.4/5 is worth noting on its own; a similar pattern shows up across several providers in this space, where curated homepage testimonials paint a rosier picture than the open review platforms.

If the revenue-cap maths changes your decision

If you'd rather not price your accounting against a fixed first-year revenue threshold, it's worth looking at Statrys' Singapore incorporation service directly. Statrys charges SGD 3,686 for the first year (promotional, 10% off the full price of SGD 4,095), inclusive of government fees, with a no-deposit nominee director arrangement to meet the resident director requirement.

The structural difference worth noting: Statrys prices its ongoing accounting by actual transaction volume, not by a fixed annual revenue band with a true-up invoice at year's end. For a founder who genuinely doesn't know yet whether their first year will land at S$25,000 or S$80,000 in revenue, that's one less variable to plan around upfront.

Statrys' incorporation package also includes a multi-currency business account covering 11 currencies, a dedicated account manager, a 5-day setup, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Statrys is regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore as a Major Payment Institution.

FAQs

Does Osome's advertised incorporation price include a full year of accounting support?

It includes accounting support for your first financial year, but only up to S$30,000 in expected revenue. If your actual revenue is higher, Osome's own pricing page states it will invoice you for the difference based on which of its Operate, Grow, or Scale accounting tiers your revenue actually falls into.

Does Osome's cheapest plan include a nominee director for the full year?

No. Osome's Starter plan, from S$2,438, includes a local nominee director for 3 months only. Singapore law requires a resident director continuously, so most foreign founders without an eligible local co-director will need to extend that coverage, or choose Osome's Fully Compliant plan, which bundles a full 12 months for S$3,772.

What happens if my nominee director term runs out before I have a local director?

Osome's public pricing doesn't show a standalone renewal rate for extending a nominee director past a package's included term; its nominee director page routes back to the same incorporation bundles rather than an a-la-carte price. Osome states that prices for add-on services, including a nominee director, are shown at checkout and within your Osome account, rather than on its public pricing pages.

Is Osome regulated to provide incorporation and nominee director services in Singapore?

Yes. Osome is registered with ACRA as a filing agent (FA20170653), its accountants are certified by the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA), and it holds a Ministry of Manpower Employment Agency licence (No. 22S1231), which covers its Employment Pass and work visa application services.
